    Cool. Good to hear. They look pretty nice, and decently posable. Do you have any of the dino/dragon bike guys? I can't seem to find an actual name for them.

    Dang it. Fair enough. On those bike dudes, what kind of joints do they mostly have? Any ratcheting? Like I said I was mainly curious about the rhino guy, but they all interest me.

    I think Wei Jiang has stated they plan to reissue the others in other colours once the last part is released in the near future. I think they even had the other colours in their promotional materials. not to mention they use a yellow arm often on the combined mode.

    So it seems possible more are going to be made.

    That is a good question when I noticed someone had a bunch of Decepticons clear backed logos with their KO Gravity Builder 'Scavenger' I was wondering were they a freebie from the seller or included in the box.

    As if there is a thing i'd love to see a cheaper option on it's logo stickers.
    Especially very small ones for DX-9 sized toys and Micromasters etc.. and yes you can get silver backed ones very cheap but clear and white backed can be really hard to get at a sensible price. and especially in sizes smaller than 5mm

    That's good news about Vortex.

    My curiosity is because I already have the first 4 MB warbotrons. If MB isn't ever going to give us the Onslaught, then I need to look at the diecast Onslaught as an alternative. The only serious incompatibility seems to be on the Vortex wrist, so I'm entertaining the idea of picking up diecast Vortex if I can. It's not pricey, and it's already in proper colours (so less painting) and that way I can just repurpose the MB version into a Rotorstorm. :) 

    Of course, following that plan means I'd still have to repaint or dye the MB Swindle and Blastoff. Brawl is close enough for me.

    Hey, you asked me. And you got told. :wink:

    Oversized rts ko black megatron
    Ko white classics starscream
    The remaining 5 voyager robo Savior figures (not ko)
    Oversized die cast ko warbotron bruticus
    Cyber battalion commander optimus prime (not ko)
    Beast wars set of 6D (oversized rts/legends hound and optimus in the set)
    2x ko htfd red highbrow (powerglide to me)
    2x wst ko bruticus

    Lovely haul IMO.

    They have ratcheting elbows and knees, balljointed everywhere else. Wrist swivel, head swivel, knee swivel (lower thigh actually) and some of the best plastic I have come across all around.

    No neck tilt, no ankle tilt, and no waist swivel. Not deal breakers to me for a 15.00 voyager.

    Well worth the money spent. :thumb 

    Size comparison with current voyagers, and another happy ko from sirtoys a while back, purple foc grimlock.

    He is pretty great. I ended up painting mine as Pyro. If the Cyber Battalion toys are getting KO'd any hope for added articulation? Basically adding knees and keeping the price similar makes an already great toy amazing.

    From my late grandfather's fire truck collection. G3 Inferno. All original parts. Just missing one wing and the water squirting gun. Love the colors on this. Any of you have this guy?

    Wow, that's not bad. Decent size too. I'll definitely be picking some up now! Thanks!

    Also, that Die Cast Bruticus, is that larger than the recent WJ upscaled one or no?

    The recent upscaled one is by JinBao, not Weijiang.

    And this diecast Bruticus is not oversized. It matches the original size, so it is the same size as the MB Warbotrons, and smaller than the JinBao.

    My bad, my bad, yeah the oversized warbotron I have isn't diecast... I haven't even touched it yet due to work. I keep wanting to get the diecast ko onslaught separately for the machineboy limb bots.

    Typing fast and crossing thoughts leads to shit like this. :lol

    didn't even realize when I bought them that those cyber-whatever toys were KO's, pretty damn nice too.

    have a proper pic somewhere, but can't find it just now.
    Really good quality plastic and paint etc, even the fake autobot symbol thing looks alright.

    Did you get any of the leader ones?

    I bought robo leader lavi last year, really nice toy, and the face etc looks much nicer on the leaders.
